If all animals were going to be vegetarians forever, why did God intelligently design saber-toothed tigers?
(Same goes for great white sharks.)

God does not create absurdities . nothing in this world has been designed by God . It is nature that has designed everything . it is environment that has designed everything .If the tiger did not have any sharp teeth , it can not tear the flesh of its kill. Initially every animal has been meat eaters only . animals have Been eating only mobile things . If some carnivore sees some animal stationery , it does not pounce on it immediately. It waits to see if that is something that is alive and edible . Anything that moves and shifts position is edible for them. Man was also a carnivore first , an omnivore next and then a herbivore later . all animals won't turn to be herbivores a any time .

All animals were never intended to be vegetarians. I don't know where you got that load of bunk but it wasn't the Bible.
Sabre Tooth Tigers had big teeth so they could eat Sabre Tooth Rats. That's about as intelligent an answer as this question deserves.

your premise of eternal vegetarianism is questionable. But assuming arguendo it is true, I suppose these teeth could be useful in digging up succulent tubers for ingestion by vegetarian tigers. Great white sharks need sharp teeth to tear off hunks of tought seaweed. so there
later they were forced to resort to meat because of the original sin of that darn eve.

If you are speaking to the myths or legends of a particular religion, I would have to know which religion in order to answer. If you are talking about the Christian religion, I really can't recall reading or being told that all animals were going to be vegetarians.
As to intelligent design, it has been debunked several times and is not necessary to scientific study.

God created many species who are now extinct.
God created the human race and all human souls, and the great majority of them will spend eternity in the torment of Hell.
(Only the ones that believe in Jesus will endure, and even most of them won't unless they proclaim their belief louder and with greater emotion; and they must tell Jesus they think he's the greatest. If Jesus says "Louder; I can't hear you!" they better do it.)
As for meat-eating animals, God created them originally to eat vegertarian animals that had died, as a way to dispose of their bodies. But then meat-eating animals started eating the living as well, and God said "Oh hell."
By then he was preoccupied with his anger at the human race, which had fallen into debauchery and every kind of perversion imaginable.

Animals and their appetites as we knew or know them today will be changed so killing is no longer a part of their instincts.

Odd question.
It is not the 'having' that matters.
What matters is how its used.
You have a knife.
Are you automatically a terrible person?
You could be using it for beneficial purposes.
No?
